ROCKY MOUNTAINEER OFFERS FOUR DISTINCT RAIL ROUTES
You now have the unenviable task of choosing between wonderful, fabulous, amazing, and fantastic.
Travelling between the coast and Banff or Lake Louise, you’ll witness mountains and wilderness, much of it seemingly unchanged since the days of the first explorers.
This route, the only one in America, includes canyons, deserts, and archways of the Southwest. You’ll cross the Continental Divide and journey through the Moffat Tunnel too.
This route takes you through the heart of the Canadian Rockies, with all of nature’s raw beauty on fully display. Highlights include Mount Robson and the postcard-perfect Pyramid Falls.
Going from one extreme to the another, this route traverses the world’s largest temperate rainforest, linking it to the arid ranchlands of the historic Cariboo Gold Rush region.
IT'S ALWAYS A GOOD TIME TO GO
Anytime is the perfect time to travel onboard Rocky Mountaineer, as all seasons they operate in are beautiful.
AUTUMN (SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER)
The forests create a vibrant display of red, orange, and gold, mixed with evergreen. Snow frosts the mountain peaks. The animals forage through the wilderness to prepare for the coming winter.
| SPRING (APRIL-MAY) Lakes, streams, and waterfalls swell with the melting remnants of winter and snow-capped mountain peaks. Bears lumber out of hibernation. Flowers blossom. The wilderness comes alive and it’s yours to savour. |
| SUMMER (JUNE-AUGUST) Warm weather urges vegetation to flourish. Newborn animals emerge under their parent’s watchful eyes. The rainforest is at its most lush and the arid desert canyons have an especially rugged beauty. |

I have always been a lover of travel, family holidays as a child sparked my love of seeing the world. I was born in England, moving to New Zealand with my family at the age of six. Drawn to the outdoors and the natural beauty of the world, I enjoy nothing more than exploring new landscapes, immersing myself in local living or being a major tourist. Whether that’s wondering narrow streets, exploring a big city or lounging on a sun-soaked beach.
In addition to my knowledge of travel, I'm currently training to become a Contiki champ with a passion for adventure and a love of meeting new people, I am eager to help you plan your own exciting Contiki, Top Deck, G-adventures or Intrepid tour and create unforgettable memories.
I was fortunate enough to be sent to Disneyland California and loved every aspect of its adrenaline packed adventure. It is an unforgettable trip and I cant wait to help others book their magical Disney holidays.
With a passion for adventure and a keen eye for detail, I’m always on the lookout for hidden gems, unique experiences and trending destinations. Whether you're looking for a thrill-seeking adventure or a peaceful escape into nature, I have the drive to help you plan the trip of a lifetime.

My first big trip was off to Camp America many years ago. As soon as I stepped foot on the first big international plane, the travel bug bit me and I never wanted to stop! Eventually I had to get a "real job" and what better job than as a travel agent.
Since then I've enjoyed sending many more people on their first big exciting trip overseas, on family holidays, honeymoons, reunions, road trips, girls trips and any other reason you can think of for travel!
